Atuação profissional da educação física e interdisciplinaridade na atenção primária à saúde: uma revisão de literatura integrativa

Abstract

The Family Health Support Center (NASF) in the context of Primary Health Care (PHC) presents innovative methods for health profiling, aiming to support, expand and improve health care and management in PHC. The NASF is made up of a multidisciplinary team, which includes the Physical Education Professional (PEF), who must have interdisciplinary action, with humanized and comprehensive patient care to promote health and prevent diseases and injuries. Therefore, the study starts from the research problem: what are the practices developed by the PEF, together with the multidisciplinary team, at the NASF? In order to answer the question, it aims to understand the role of the PEF in the context of interdisciplinarity in PHC in the Unified Health System (SUS). To this end, this is a bibliographical research, of the integrative literature review type, with a qualitative research approach. The virtual scientific databases used were the Virtual Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Medline. The descriptors were used, according to health terminology consulted in the Health Sciences Descriptors (DECS): Physical Education; Primary Health Care; Basic Health Care; Family Health Strategy. In the search procedures, the descriptors were used using the Boolean operator AND and OR to combine them. Articles and scientific works were accepted, appropriate to the topic studied, in Portuguese and published in the last ten years (2013-2023). Studies that are not available in full and duplicates and literature review studies were excluded. The final sample consists of 12 studies. The results of the studies make it possible to conclude that the performance and actions carried out by the PEF in PHC, particularly in the NASF, are extremely relevant for the population served by the SUS, as well as being extremely important for the composition of the ESF team, It is essential to maintain joint work with other professionals from the Family Health Reference Team (EqSF), with a focus on prevention and promotion of comprehensive health. Therefore, PEF actions must focus on: carrying out permanent assessments, organizing and participating in health education activities, participating in the planning of PHC health actions, valuing the use of public spaces and exploring wealth of possibilities for physical activities.
